Fruited Belgian Tripel. Voodoo Love Child is our unique interpretation of an old-world classic. We take our Belgian Tripel and delicately age it on cherries, raspberries and passion fruit to produce moderately sweet fruit notes on top of our traditional Belgian yeast character.

Got in a BIF from JNForsyth. 22 ounce bottle into chalice; no bottle dating, but is a recent release. Pours lightly hazy/cloudy golden orange color with a 1 finger dense off white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of lightly tart raspberry, cherry, passion fruit, peach, pear, apple, pepper, clove, honey, candi sugar, bread, herbal, grass, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with good balance and complexity of fruity/spicy yeast, fruits, and pale malt notes; with good strength. Taste of lightly tart raspberry, cherry, passion fruit, peach, pear, apple, pepper, clove, honey, candi sugar, bread, herbal, grass, and yeast earthiness. Fair amount of earthy yeast spiciness and light tartness on the finish; with lingering notes of raspberry, cherry, passion fruit, peach, pear, apple, pepper, clove, honey, bread, and herbal/yeast earthiness on the finish for a while. Fantastic complexity and robustness of fruity/spicy yeast, fruits, and pale malt sweetness; with a great malt/yeast/fruit balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, crisp, and slightly bready mouthfeel that is great. Alcohol is very well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish. Overall this is an awesome fruited tripel style. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/spicy yeast, fruits, and pale malt flavors; and very smooth and crisp to sip on for the ABV. A highly enjoyable offering.

Pours hazy pink/orange color with a fleeting pink head. Raspberry aroma. Raspberry flavor, spritzy, light acidic tartness. Maybe Berliner Wiesse with the raspberry syrup in it. Hides the alcohol completely.

Pour is a hazy red with a small white head. Aroma is a big sweet berry. Lots of raspberry and cherry. Flavor is like the aroma more cherry comes out but then a decent raspberry is there. Finish is not too tart but a bit sweeter than you would think. It’s sweet and fruity like a mixed berry preserve so the 9.5 is no where to be found making this dangerous.

Bottle from Food and Friends Pours a hazy medium gold color with a decent sized off white head that persists for a while. While there was no huge pop when I opened it, it did try to self pour out of the bottle. The aroma is lightly non descript fruit with a solid caramel malty back with lots of clove and other spices. I had to edit this a little, because as this warms the raspberries and cherries really come out in the nose. The flavor is caramel prune and yeasty spice for the most part. The fruit flavor of raspberry and cherry are subtle but the tartness shines through pretty well. A hint of alcohol and a prominent orange marmalade thing round out the flavor. Medium body with a moderate level of carbonation and a sweet slick mouthfeel. Decent beer, but overall I feel that flavors are competing here rather than complimenting each other.

Bomber. Pours a cloudy orange color with a large white head. An odd fruity nose, lots of pear. The flavor is crisp, tripel yeast, fruity, dry at times, pear, sake, passionfruit, no tartness, finishes clean and tasty.

Location: 22 oz bottle from Buy Rite - Jersey City, 2/18/11
Aroma: The nose is really sweet, lots of fruity notes, some yeast, honey, and candied sugar
Appearance: The pour is a cloudy golden-orange with a small white head
Flavor: The taste is pretty darn sweet as well, lots of fruity flavor both candied and not
Palate: Medium bodied with a tingly feel on the tongue and a lasting sugary feel on the mouth
Overall Impression: Man is this one a sugarfest, it's not bad, not some crazy sugary mess, but just a touch on the messy side. I would say that it could probably use some rounding. Also, that feeling on the inside of my mouth that it is covered in a slight coating of sugar is a bit off-putting from a beer. Despite those criticisms, this isn't a bad brew, but I can't go too high with the score.

Cloudy orange brown beer. Slightly sour dry malt. Faint morello cherry, a little raspberry. Smooth dry finish. An undertone of brandy and passion fruit. A fairly unique beer but slightly odd as well.

Amber pour. Clear. Very strong raspberry, cherry and other fruits taste. Texture is almost juicy. Interesting ale, but not sure if I’d buy it again. Rated 10/31/08

Bottle. Poured a clear gold with a slight off-white head. Aroma has an awkward note of tofu, grains and fruits. Flavor has notes of cherry, and raspberries, with a bit of an awkward tartness, seaweed flavor and medicinal qualities. Definitely misses the mark for me
